Just like this, one jar after another was slowly transported up. Ling Yun found it very difficult to pick up a jar. It weighed at least twenty or thirty kilograms. It was so slippery that it was difficult to control. He quickly put the big jar into the house. On the table.
Su Youting and the others finally climbed up from the well. Although it didn't take long, their arms were sore and swollen from supporting their own weight for a long time and having to carry things.
However, when they saw the six jars on the table, several people also had happy smiles on their faces. At least they had gotten something.
Opening the seal on the jar, the inside was red, with a red cloth padded inside. Ling Yun chuckled and asked, "Do you know why gold is wrapped in red cloth?"
Huzi and the others shook their heads honestly, "I don't know. Is it to ward off evil spirits? Then haven't they become spirits?"
"Then do you know that when digging wild ginseng in the mountains, you have to tie it with a red rope?"
"I know this, Sister Lingyun. As those ginseng grow older, they will have longer legs. They can run so hard that they are difficult to catch. When they see the soil, they can burrow into it so that no one can find it." Huzi is indeed an old hunter. The son of the family has been familiar with many old rules and legends about mountain climbing and hiking since he was a child.
"This gold is different from others. It is not afraid of water, fire, moisture, or rust. If it is buried for a long time and is not exposed to the sun, it will have some evil abilities. They will also run underground. They can run three inches a year. Over time, Even the person burying it doesn’t know where it will go. So when burying it, it will be wrapped in red cloth.”
"Wrap it in a cloth and stop running away?" Huzi and the others now love hearing these weird things more and more, and they pester Ling Yun to get to the bottom of it.
Ling Yun explained patiently, sharing everything he knew with them, "It's not that they stopped running, but that they couldn't see the direction, so they would only run in one direction, three inches a year, towards the south. The south is the direction of nobility, and these treasures also like auspiciousness, so it is not difficult to find them."
Huzi replied quickly, "I know that the doors of the houses in our village all face south. The carpenter said that if the door faces south, nobility will come to the door."
Several people counted the number and found that there were five gold ingots each, totaling sixty. The jar was so heavy partly because of its own weight and partly because there was a brick on top of the gold.
Seeing Ban Brick, Ling Yun couldn't help but think of the magic of defeating the enemy last night. Could it be that she was a blind cat and met a dead mouse, and the reason why Ban Brick was able to break the golden bell outside was because of the brick inside the jar?
Another three thousand taels of silver were obtained. Ling Yun was not a greedy person, and the three young men had also helped out in the past two days. He glanced at Su Youting and decided, "We have a share in meeting each other. There are about five thousand three taels before and after." About a hundred taels of silver is for the five of us!"
Upon hearing this, the three teenagers felt that their shoulders were extremely heavy. They have been children who have suffered a lot in their lives. They were hit on the head by a pie falling from the sky. It was such a big pie. They were a little incompetent and stupid on the spot. .
Su Youting agreed very much with Ling Yun's approach and said with a smile on his face, "You scared them!"
Huzi was the first to wake up from his daze, "Sister Lingyun, we don't want the money. You and Brother Youting bought this house, and we just came to play with it. The things in the house naturally belong to you, too. We don’t want it, not a penny.”
Both sides were shirking, as if they were facing a big, hot problem, rather than a pile of wealth that could never be spent in a lifetime. In the end, Su Youting neutralized both sides.
"Okay, Ling Yun, it's not a good thing for them to have too much money in their hands when they are young. They will have to work hard on their own in the future. It's better for you to keep this money in your hands as capital. Don't you still want to keep it?" Do you want to do this kind of business that will cost you a house? Just treat them as if they are part of the business, and when they get a wife in the future, you can give them a big gift or just arrange it!"
Everyone's eyes lit up when they heard this idea. Huzi immediately nodded sharply, "Sister Lingyun, I'd better leave these with you. If there is an emergency at home in the future, we will ask you to get them."
In the end, Ling Yun was the only one who was worried. She held her chin and sighed for a long time. Su Youting couldn't stand it anymore, so she asked, "What's wrong? Do you think the money is too heavy?"
Unexpectedly, Ling Yun showed him an aggrieved face that was about to cry, "That's it, how are we going to transport so many silver and copper coins back to the village? These are really eye-catching. We don't want to harm anyone, but we have to take precautions. "
Su Youting looked at the little daughter-in-law who had a pouty mouth and seemed to be coquettish with him, showed a doting smile, and said softly, "This is not easy to handle. If you deposit it in the bank and go home with the banknote, who can guess?" Isn’t it true that what’s in your arms is a few thousand taels of silver?”
Ling Yun immediately beamed with joy, "You are so smart, just do it like this, but you can't use the carriage in Anyuan City. If you don't look down, you won't be safe if you say something."
This kind of problem is nothing to Su Youting, "Then just find a carriage outside Anyuan City. Our own ox-cart is too slow. If we go to the nearest Suzipo, we can't make a round trip in an afternoon."
Su Youting stared at Ling Yun who was looking up at him seriously, and suddenly felt that he couldn't get enough of this little face, "Just ask Huzi and the others to go to the south city gate. There are often convoys from other towns coming to deliver goods there. Let's Just take care of a carriage you don’t recognize."
After discussing a solution, they just did it. Huzi took his two friends and went straight to the south city gate. When they arrived at the city gate, they squatted under the wall.
There were a lot of carriages coming in and out, some of them looked familiar, but they didn't move forward at all. They just looked at the carriages they had never seen before. After waiting for a while, none of them stopped and slowed down enough to talk to them. of.
They also asked them to meet an acquaintance, Shen Liujia, who had eaten and drank at a table in the village before, and he got off the carriage.
Seeing the three of them, he walked up and said hello, "Why are you three here? Are you here with Miss Ling and his wife when they went to the city for business?"
"Mr. Shen, we are waiting here for the carriage that is going to Su Zipo. We need to pull something."
"What are you waiting for? Just use my carriage. I happen to be waiting for the goods here. After receiving the goods, I will take the carriage in the shop and go back."
The three children shook their heads together, "No, no, it's really not so troublesome. We are pulling several bags of grain. Your truck is only for pulling people, so it cannot be loaded with goods."
At this time, a team of carriages loaded with goods came into the city. The leader must have known Mr. Shen. He started to wave and say hello from a distance, "Master, the goods have arrived. The journey went smoothly. Can you please wait for us here?" .”
When he came close, he bowed his hands and asked Mr. Shen, "Do you think these are transported directly to the warehouse?"
The car was filled with all kinds of goods. Mr. Shen waved his hand and signaled to go directly to the warehouse. There were people there who were counting, and they had done a lot of similar work. The person leading the team didn't say anything, and they were familiar with the business. He went straight to the Shen family's warehouse.
"What do you think? My caravan is coming from Yushou City. They are going back after unloading the goods. They will pass by Su Zipo on the way. How about you go with them? They are familiar with the road and they look out for each other on the way."
Huzi rolled his eyes a few times, agreed, thanked Mr. Shen politely, and followed the convoy. He could take the car back to the house to load his things later.
The other two young men were prompted by Hu Zi's eyes and went back to report to Ling Yun and explain the situation here.
Avoid being caught off guard later.
